At Paris Bar all night playing records if you’re looking for something to do in Detroit

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

My rep Mr. Thanedar is one of the most opportunistic hacks in all of congress but if even he can tell which way the wind is blowing everyone else has no excuse

fuck this freak, fuck these fascist, fuck everyone who supports this. kilmar deserves due process just like everyone else

Who is this

This may be one of the worst moments in history to fetishize the law or the quality of being law-abiding.

Aside from being a terrible idea, it’s hard to imagine that this is actually true. There’s no quick or easy way to digitize 14,000 tapes, it’s far more likely that they just threw them in the trash or didn’t do anything at all.

This is what music is all about

Missed this when it came out over a decade ago, really well done

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp. The world is watching. History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

Which one of you is this

Finally found a copy of the best “Michigan Noise” 7 of the 80s (and ever?) that has the tracklist. I think about “Walk w Disc” almost every day

Playing “moody” oldies tomorrow (Thursday) with @shelleyginkgo.bsky.social and Tyler Hicks at Outer Limits Lounge if any southeast Michigan folks see these posts and want something to do

Been listening to this one a lot, Olinga really nails the intersection of “cool composition” with “the crew is just kickin it for a side” style

Mike Huckaby’s All It Takes is maybe my favorite “dub techno” track, hits hardest driving around in the snow but sounds incred at home

Classic snowstorm style

Love to live in techno city, a magic place that you have to leave if you want to buy a midi cable

Anyone in Detroit have more info on this? Looks cool obviously dia.org/events/roy-b...

Just terrible

Pump it up, Shake deserves the absolute best

Shout out to Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin who both voted for this shit

This just makes his decision to vote for Trump’s cruel immigration bill last week look even more cowardly and depraved. Still licking the boot on his way out, a perfect end to a career as an empty vessel for corporate interests. Hope he drives his motorcycle in to Lake Superior and never knows peace

Check it out, this record is good

Once again alerting a website that this record is back in print: fredescott.bandcamp.com/album/journe...
